The Micil Distillery Experience 2 in Galway is a one-hour guided tour at Galway’s only working distillery. The tour explains the history and production of Ireland’s original spirit, poitín, which was outlawed in the region for over 300 years. The guide describes how poitín was first distilled by the founder in a small stillhouse in South Connemara and how the distillery is now run by his great-great-great-grandson. Visitors will hear stories about the family’s past involvement in illicit distilling while observing the sights and sounds of the working distillery. The tour includes three guided tastings of spirits made on site: poitín, whiskey, and gin. A professional guide leads the entire experience. The distillery has a gift shop, and visitors should note that the minimum age to taste alcohol is 18 years. The space can be chilly, so bringing a jacket is recommended. Food is not included, but the nearby Oslo Bar serves food daily.
